Steps to make Tea eggs (marbled tea eggs):
  1. In a medium sized pot, pour cold water and add the eggs. On medium high heat bring water to a boil, then reduce heat low. Tip: cook eggs for 5 minutes for soft boiled, 7 minutes for almost set, 10 minutes for hard boiled.
  2. Once the eggs are done, immediately transfer to ice cold water in a mixing bowl (this stops the eggs from cooking further) and let eggs cool down.
  3. In a muslin cloth, add the dry spice ingredients and tie together. Add the other marinade ingredients to the medium pot and place the muslin inside. On medium heat, bring to a boil and let the spices infuse. Once boiled, reduce the heat to very low and simmer for 5 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let the marinade cool down.
  4. With a teaspoon, gently crack the eggs (this creates the beautiful marbling effect), and place in a large jar or container.
  5. Pour the cooled down marinade into the container or jar. Fill unti the eggs are completely covered. Place in the fridge and leave for 1 day. The longer the eggs are left in the marinade the deeper the flavour becomes. The eggs will last for 4 - 5 days in the refrigerator.
  6. Gently peel the eggs to reveal the marble pattern. With a sharp knife cut the eggs in half. Serve on it's own as a snack, with a stew or in a ramen soup noodle. I go for a softer boiled egg as I prefer the Onsen-style glazed yolk!
